Abstract
This paper proposes causality model of qualitative simulation for construction enterprise core competence; then knowledge representation and methods of conversion for variable, filtration methods of qualitative branches and steps of qualitative simulation are designed; additionally results of simulation are analyzed. The simulation results can be intuitively represented by curve in which elements of construction enterprise core competence and the overall level change with the internal and external conditions. Peak value and valley value of construction enterprise core competence fluctuation curve provide decision support for manager to develop and timely adjust enterprise development strategy. Finally a simulation example is given to explain simulation process and result analysis.
